Thursday, August 28, Know more about Mayadhar Mansingh,poet of orissa.

From his autobiography and poetry.

Its surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful, especially as one stands on the sand dunes close to the village. The golden beaches of the sea join the forests of casuarinas and wild cashew which border it. Within the village are verdant paddy fields and ponds full of lilies. And on the west lies the beautiful Chilika, an expanse of liquid sapphire on which nestle millions of migratory birds from places as far away as Siberia.

It was in this village that Mayadhar Mansingh was born, a hundred years ago. His poetry reflects the translucent beauty of the Chilika Lake and the colours, sounds and fragrances of his village. Mayadhar Mansingh left the village at an early age, but the village never left him. It was his sanctuary, his inspiration; the source of his aesthetics and his values.

Mayadhar Mansingh (13 November – 11 October ) was an Indian poet and writer who wrote in Odia.

In later life, he remembered with joy the experience of witnessing the colourful jatras and kirtans held in the village and the pride he felt in leading the procession of swords in this Khandayat village on the day of Dussehra. His ancestors were Paikas, the peasant soldiers of Orissa who had rebelled against the British in The little boy from Nandala was orphaned at the age of four and, facing the world alone, poured out his soul in his writings.

Mayadhar Mansingh, the poet and Mayadhar Mansingh, my father. Thank you for giving me this opportunity of joining you in offering a handful of flowers in his memory. The first thought which comes to my mind when I recall my father was his obsession with the world of letters. He defined his space as a writer and happily spent the longest hours of the day in his study-cum-bedroom, surrounded by his immense collection of books.
